Finding fun ways to learn how to control airflow and sound placement! Did you know some sounds are nasal sounds? /m/ (as in “mom”), /n/ (as in “no”), /ŋ/ (as in “sing”) are all sounds made with airflow through the nasal passageways!

Kids on a candy high? Try a fall themed sensory bin for some calm play! Start with a base filler, such as:
Dried corn kernels, uncooked rice, dried beans, Kinetic sand or shredded paper. Next, add in items like mini pumpkins or gourds, acorns (real or craft), fake leaves (silk or paper), small animal or fall-themed toys (squirrels, leaves, tractors, apples, etc.) Lastly, don’t forget to add in tools like measuring cups, scoops, tongs, spoons, and little bowls for sorting!

We love pairing books with toys to increase learning through play! Taking the auditory journey of books and turning it into a hands-on activity is so much fun! This has been a favorite for all our little boys this fall! 💙

It’s pumpkin season! Did you know carving pumpkins is an activity rich in sensory input and language development?

Sensory Opportunities include kids digging into pumpkins with their hands, experiencing the slimy, stringy texture of the seeds and pulp as tactile input. Bright orange pumpkins and a variety of tools and bowls stimulate visual interest.The earthy, fresh smell of pumpkin is an olfactory (smell) sensory input all while hearing the squish of the pumpkin pulp adds to auditory sensory learning.

Language Development Opportunities? Let us tell you!
This activity naturally includes descriptive language such as “slimy,” “wet,” “cold,” “sticky,” “orange,” “round,” etc. Children can also work on following verbal instructions or sequencing such as “First we cut the top, then we scoop the seeds”. Turn-taking, asking for tools, or helping each other out also encourages conversation and cooperation which helps to boost the social use of language!

Share your pumpkin pictures with us!

Side Sitting for Stronger Play
At Kid Connections, we love celebrating little moments that make a big difference in development.

On the left, notice how slouching in “long sitting” can make it harder for kids to keep their core active and stay upright. On the right, side sitting encourages:
• Core and trunk strength
• Hip mobility
• A better position for reaching, playing, and exploring

These small posture shifts build the foundation for gross motor milestones, play skills, and confidence!
